MIRAMAR, SCHOOL SIGN LONG-TERM LEASE

A long-term lease has been signed with Miramar Elementary School that will allow its facilities to be used for city recreation programs.

City officials now are negotiating an agreement with A.C. Perry Elementary School to allow the city to use the school building for weekend recreational programs, said Charles Strattan, director of operations.

Securing leases on school properties has been an integral part of the city's commitment to upgrade and increase recreational opportunities.

"What's left to do is pinpoint the areas in the far east and then construct an overall plan of attack," Mayor Frank Branca said.

A study of fees to be paid by future developers will be completed soon, Branca said. Those fees will help finance park construction throughout the city.

A study released in August 1984 showed that Miramar lacked adequate recreational space and recreation programs, especially for teen-agers.
